First, you have to remember the scene. It’s not a papercut. Bakugo takes a hit that’s basically a final boss attack. It’s the kind of blow that would make a regular person turn into a puff of smoke. The story doesn’t shy away from the gravity of it. For a hot second, even the most optimistic fans had to wonder if the loudest hero was actually done for.
But here’s the fun part. This isn’t a story about normal humans with normal limits. This is a world where people can control fire, ice, and, you know, literal explosions from their palms. So, the rules for “dying” are a little more flexible. It’s less about a flatline and more about a dramatic pause in the action.
